Crown Of Hearts-Chapter 72: I will try my best

"Usually, its a small tattoo of your mate’s dragon. In this case, mine. It makes other dragons that could be interested in you aware that you are already taken. It’s the magic within dragons that makes the mark appear that way." Valerion added and Eamon finally understood the various artistic dragon tattoos he had seen on many dragon’s necks.

Even Tia had one and he had originally thought that they were just tattoos crafted by a very skilled artist but now he knew that they were marks and he was going to get one too.

Something about having a mini Valerion tattooed on his neck made him smile. He liked this mark already.

"I am glad you are happy about it." Valerion smiled, sensing his mate’s emotions.

"I love it." Eamon admitted with a smile.

"You had said that you wanted to mark me as well. I could get a tattoo of you." Valerion suggested and Eamon’s eyes lit up as they met the stormy grey eyes that were gazing down at him.

"Really?" He whispered and Valerion kissed his forehead.

"Yes, how does tomorrow sound? We could book an appointment with an artist." Valerion suggested and Eamon hugged him, hiding his eyes that had started to brim with unshed tears.

"Tomorrow sounds perfect." Eamon sniffled, wondering if the dragon could ever stop making him fall in love with him all over again.

"I love you, Eamon." Valerion smiled knowingly as if he knew his mate’s thoughts.

"I love you too, Valerion." Eamon looked up smiling brightly as he leaned in and kissed him.

...

"A letter has arrived for you, your highness." A footman approached Damon who was busy entertaining his guests. freёwebnoѵel.com

The engagement party was a smashing success and since it was nearly over and no one could make a fuss if the host disappeared for a while, Damon slowly slipped away, locking himself in an empty room to read the letter.

It was from Eamon and they had exchanged letters twice since his friend left. He was quite pleased to receive a third.

’Dear Damon, am sorry I wasn’t able to make it to your engagement party. I was recovering from an incident and was not strong enough to make the journey but you will be pleased to know that I will be arriving in a day or two to visit. Valerion will be coming as well and I know he is not one of your favorite people but he has promised to be on his best behavior.

Yours, Eamon.

A knock at the door caught Damon’s attention once he was done reading the letter and he cleared his voice as he folded the small piece of paper and put it in his pocket.

"Who is it?" He called out as he stood up.

"It’s me, love." Alexander’s familiar voice sounded on the other side of the door.

"Are you alright, I noticed saw you leave the party." Alexander’s voice was concerned once Damon opened the door.

"I am fine and there nothing to worry about. I was just reading a letter from Eamon." Damon explained as he held Alexander’s hand and pulled him inside, sneakily locking the door behind him.

His clear blue eyes took on a hungry look as he pinned Alexander to the door.

"Damon...we will..." Damon placed a finger on his fiance’s lips, stopping him from talking about how they were going to be missed at the party.

"Surely everyone will understand if the newly engaged couple wants to spend some time alone." Damon smirked and Alexander’s resolve melted as he held Damon’s hand to his lips, placing a soft kiss on his finger as their eyes met in a heated gaze.

Alexander was leaving for his quest the following morning and he wanted to spend as much time with Damon as he could.

Damon shivered slightly as he watched Alexander sensually kiss all five of his finger tips.

"I love you." Alexander murmured as his fingers brushed over the ring Damon wore on his finger, placing a soft kiss on the ring as well.

"I love you too." Damon smiled as his other hand boldly slipped beneath Alexander’s shirt, trailing a seductive path up his chest.

Alexander moaned softly in pleasure as his hand went for Damon’s neck, pulling him in for a kiss.

Their lips clashed in a fiery kiss, the unsaid goodbye clear with the intensity as they tore their clothes from their bodies.

Their bodies clashed passionately as Damon turned Alexander around, his hips meeting his bottom in an electric touch.

"You are mine." Damon’s voice was a hoarse whisper as one of his hands wrapped around Alexander’s waist, the other entwining with one of his that were placed against the wall.

"Yes, I am yours love." Alexander’s fingers curled against the wall for balance as Damon slowly penetrated him, kissing his neck as he started to move.

...

Twenty minutes later, they were reluctantly getting dressed to head back outside and say farewell to their guests.

"What did Eamon say in his letter?" Alexander was curious as he finished buttoning up his shirt.

"He is coming to visit and he is bringing the dragon with him." Damon replied, grimacing slightly as he briefly thought of Valerion.

He disliked that dragon.

"From what you have told me, they seem to be madly in love so, lighten up. Valerion is no longer a threat to our people." Alexander’s voice was gentle as he reached out to help Damon with his collar.

"Fine, I will try my best not to constantly glare at the dragon." Damon pouted and Alexander kissed his cheek, smiling as he fixed Damon’s hair.

"You might even become friends." Alexander teased and Damon glared at him.

"If you keep saying things like that, I am going to kick you." Damon grumbled and Alexander tried not to smile as he raised his hands in defeat.

"Alright I have stopped. No need for violence." He chuckled and Damon’s face softened as he grabbed his hand.

"Let’s go." Damon said as he led him through the door and back to the party.

They said farewell to their friends and Alexander’s family and once they retired to bed that night, Damon had trouble falling asleep as he held onto Alexander who was also wide awake.

"You are leaving tomorrow." Damon’s voice was soft as his mind fully registered the fact that he wasn’t going to be seeing Alexander for weeks.
